 “A Visit from Will Dilg” a Steve Marking performance presented by D.B.
  Reinhart Institute. Steven Marking plays Will Dilg in an inspiring\, one-
 man performance. An avid trout fisherman and Chicago advertising executive
 \, Will Dilg and his wife spent their summers on a houseboat in Winona\, M
 inn. After suffering from the drowning death of his son in the early 1920
 ’s\, Dilg rose from the depths of depression to save a 261 mile stretch 
 of Mississippi River backwaters from drainage for agriculture. This stretc
 h of river is now known as the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife a
 nd Fish Refuge. Through Dilg’s creation of the Izaak Walton League of Am
 erica and successful engagement of private and public organizations\, Dilg
  petitioned Congress for this stretch of the river to become the Upper Mis
 sissippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. The refuge is one of mor
 e than 500 national wildlife refuges offering high quality wildlife habita
 t and opportunities for public recreation.
